Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!

I was a little wobbly getting out of bed this morning...I take smaller steps as I walk now.  I am swollen, have tingling going down both sides and itching my head a lot.

Yesterday, I went to the clinic to get some  blood work done and to show the nurse the sores on my face and chest.  My Dr was gone so the medical assistant took a look at the sores and brought in another Dr.  They put me on shingles medicine again.  :-(  I go back in to see my primary Dr on Monday.  I'm still having a problem with blurry vision.

Christine had her Dr appointment yesterday also.  The Dr told her the baby dropped some. She is hoping the baby decides to come this weekend...

I take grandma Faye in for blood tests on Tuesday and to visit grandma Gloria.  I didn't make it to see Gloria yesterday, for her birthday, instead I went home and took a nap.  I called in to St. Lucas to wish her Happy Birthday instead.

I have my mammogram on Wednesday. I will be bringing with me, my last mammogram and biopsy results from Olmsted.  I thought it would be best to have all my medical procedures done in the same place.  All my specialists are at Gunderson.

Thursday, of this last week, I received a box in the mail and I finally got a chance to go through it yesterday.  I've been looking for a CD called The Amazing Book.  When Erik and Kris were little, we listened to it together.  The boys really enjoyed it...
Recently Kris brought it up.  I couldn't believe it, he remembered it.  :-)

I am so thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study

A Gift from the Father

Read | John 3:16

Think about all the presents you’ve received in your life. Some may have seemed heavenly, but Jesus Christ is the only gift any of us will ever receive that came straight from heaven. Without a maker, without a beginning or end, He is unlike any other gift in human experience. And although He arrived as a tiny infant, He is precisely what all mankind desperately needs.

When you placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you could not have been given a gift that was more practical or necessary. Sin had so wrecked humanity that we were all under the wrath of God and in desperate need of forgiveness and deliverance from our guilt, shame, and fleshly behaviors. We had emotional needs, material needs, and all manner of brokenness.

So God the Father sent His only begotten Son into our lives. He knew that no other gift could ever provide for our needs or fulfill our longings as completely as Christ Jesus.

He came in human flesh. That’s what the incarnation is all about. God came into this world with a body like ours so that we could see Him, touch Him, and understand Him. And yet the tragedy is that most people never “unwrap” this gift. They keep Him a baby in the manger scene or categorize Him as just a teacher or preacher. But this will never do. If you do not unwrap the gift, you will never know what is inside. To open the present, open the Bible. The more you get to know Jesus, the better you will understand how perfect the gift is for you.

 Looking forward to another great day...
